You too! Enjoy your walking and activities in this wonderful weather
Love the sprinkles in the polka dot bowl

haha! I LOLed when I saw the title of this post. Lovin’ the sprinkles Kath. Enjoy this BEAUTIFUL weather! Yippieee!!
Sprinkles for breakfast??!?? Such a fantastic idea! Enjoy the weather…it only lasted for about 3 days here, still hoping it will come back
Such a cute breakfast for a Saturday. Enjoy your day!
Sprinkles make everything more fun. It made the oats look like cake!
That is the cutest breakfast I’ve ever seen!!!
Have a great day xo
Whoops I added the wrong link with that comment. Mow I’m off to make breakfast tacos like KERF yesterday!
Oh that’s so PRETTY! It looks like a bowl of melted birthday cake or something
Mega jealous of your weather – it’s cold and rainy here, and practically dark (at 3.20pm :/) grrr.
Goodness, that looks like an ice cream sundae! Yummo.
That’s genius! I love little bits of celebration on a big bowl of oatmeal. I always loved your crumbled bits of muffins on top.
That bowl of oats looks delicious. You should definitely eat this on your birthday!
I’m not a big oats fan (sorry!), but I think sprinkles and a groovy bowl might make it as appetizing as yours looks.
Kath, when you use vanilla, what type of vanilla do you use? Normal baking vanilla extract? Or is there a “real foods” version you recommend? I have heard that vanilla extract (the kind our moms used to make Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies) has some dangerous additives. Can you please, in all your RD glory, talk about this a bit?
THANKS!
I just use pure vanilla extract with water, alcohol and sugar. Maybe you’ve heard negatives about imitation vanilla, which is much cheaper?
beware! crazy game at UVA today, against the one and only amazing hokies!!
ohmygosh my 4 yr. olds head would explode if she saw sprinkles in her bowl! such a cute idea : )
This is so much fun! I never would have thought to put sprinkles in my oatmeal. I love it!
Ah I love the idea of oats with sprinkles! That’d be so great for a birthday breakfast for a roommate/husband, etc. I’ve said this before, but you have the best dishes. I want almost every single bowl you put on your blog! Have a good day!
The sprinkles look so cute in the bowl — I’ll have to remember that for tomorrow!
Enjoy your day!
Well that is just the most festive bowl of oats I’ve ever seen! I love it!!
I put sprinkles all over my peanut butter toast! It’s the only way I eat it. My husband thinks I’m crazy. Yay sprinkles!
Cute napkin! Sprinkles are definitely perfect “little things” for celebrating this awesome weather.
Sprinkles are the perfect addition to anything! Yum!
How can you have a bad day when breakfast starts out like that?! So fun!
Love the way you set the tone for the day! I hope you have an incredible day!
Looks like a lot of fun. Maybe I’m just boring but I like my oats simple- plain with fresh fruit. Then I actually can taste the fact that it’s oatmeal! Guess that wouldn’t make for such fun photo though.
Between that bowl and those sprinkles, I’m more than ready for tomorrow to be Easter Sunday
Bring on spring!
I love how the sprinkled match the polka dot bowl! Such a fun breakfast.
Happy Saturday! Love the sprinkles!
Love the place mat:)

I love the sprinkles!
As much as I love my oatmeal, sometimes the bland color doesn’t do it for me – great idea to add a few sprinkles!
Rainbow sprinkles are so much fun! Looks like an Easter egg bowl of oats.
Ahhh I love! Sprinkles make everything better:) I totally thought this was going to be a cake-flava’d oat recipe, I wonder what would happen if you tried to health-ify a funfetti-esque oat bowl?:)
I love the colorful oatmeal!!!!
life is too short not to enjoy the little things! great part post
I have that polka-dot bowl- yay for Peir One Imports!
cutest bowl of oats ever. you win!
Is it super windy down there? It was so bad up here that the porta-potties at my race were knocking over and sliding through the streets like they were on wheels!! Hilarious — as long as you weren’t the poor person stuck in them.
Your oatmeal looks like cake batter. And I love how it matches the bowl. Have a wonderful day!!!
Love the sprinkle yum oatmeal! Sprinkles make life more fun ; )
I like how you did all those little oatmeal photos too in the collage, pretty cool, I need to get better with design and photo taking ; )
Have a great day Kath : )
Aw sprinkles. They remind me of my grandfather.

I am so in love with your bowl of oats. Just when I though I had seen everything–everything!–on top of oats, you go and add sprinkles. What a fun way to wake up in the morning.
